Well then, Dave -- you're problems may be less 
than you expect. I've lived in apartments where I 
could put up substantial wire antennas outdoors; 
also in one where I used a stealth outdoor antenna 
of #22 magnet wire laid over a roof under cover of 
night and did well with it most times (rain on the 
roof was an issue!).

In many cases you'll need an external tuner 
capable of dealing with a random wire.
